Bookroo's summary

Beowulf, a legendary hero, embarks on perilous quests to defeat fearsome creatures. From battling the savage Grendel to confronting a deadly sea-hag, his courage is tested. But his ultimate challenge awaits—a fiery dragon that threatens everything. Will Beowulf's bravery be enough to conquer these monstrous adversaries and secure his legacy? Dive into this gripping retelling of an ancient legend where valor meets destiny.

From the publisher

In this thrilling retelling of the Anglo-Saxon legend, Rosemary Sutcliff recounts Beowulf’s most terrifying quests: against Grendel the man-wolf, against the hideous sea-hag and, most courageous of all, his fight to the death with the monstrous fire-drake. An extra section in the back includes author info, activities and quizzes, a glossary, fascinating facts, and more.
